At Ms Gogassa's suggestion, the exam was passed, but the match was to continue. For me, that's a very grateful suggestion.

The only way you can fight a strong man, like Mr. Gogassa, is if you don't even wish. So I got on with the proposal to continue.

But there was one that differed in this.

"Mr. Gogassa! If you pass the exam, just finish the game!

That's Faraes. She was absurd in her voice, forgetting her position as commentator as well.

"Captain Faraes... even I am a warrior's end. It makes me want to fight such a strong man."

"Mr. Gogassa! You are the examiner!? Don't let a person in a position to judge, with a temporary emotion, get things going!

If it's just what you're saying, Faraes is more right. But neither me nor Mr. Gogassa had a hairy head, such as the intention to stop fighting.

"Faraes! Don't stop me! If we don't fight, I'm not convinced. This isn't an exam anymore!

"Slade!? What are you saying too!? I passed! Isn't that good!?

"You know what I mean! There's something I can't give away."

I turn myself in and get slaughtered by Mr. Gogassa.

"- There is!"

"Hmm!"

Mr. Gogassa took my blow easily. Naturally, too. My attacks are very slow and shallow. But this will signal the continuation of the game.

"You don't have to..."

"Of course..."

"Oh dear! Slade, who passed the exam, was slashed by Gogassa!?

"Become! Slade! You are! '

There is no signal by the referee to cancel the match. Apparently, the battle between me and Mr. Gogassa has been decided to continue.

Then I'll let you back down here once and for all. We can't move on to the next attack.

'Oh! Slade, back off big!

'... the blow earlier is a provocation to continue the game. No further intentions. That's because we know each other, and this is a re-division.'

'I see, they do stare at each other!

Mr. Gogassa didn't go after me on the run. It would be a sign of willingness on the part of both of us to return to fairness. The battle is over here.

"Hmm!"

'Mmmm! Gogassa, when you recognize Slade has gone away, you slowly get closer'

'Sounds like you're going to set something up...'

So Mr. Gogassa approached me very slowly. Now it looks like it's coming from the other side.

Let me show you what I'm good at.

"What...!?

Mr. Gogassa swung heavily. Some kind of blow is about to be made. Then let's concentrate on defense.

'Gogassa, I swung it big. This is if...'

'Yeah, you're good at Mr. Gogassa......'

"Yeah!"

"Damn!?

Mr. Gogassa has waved his sword down from there. Naturally, I'll take that attack. But shortly afterwards I thought this was a mistake.

"Whoa!?

"Ahhh! Slade's body blew up big!

I can't stand the shock, I retreat my body. Dancing through the universe, I wondered what kind of blow I was now.

Sure, Mr. Gogassa has more power than me. But I was completely defensive. Yet I couldn't resist anything and was blown away. What is the blow now?

"That's Gogassa's specialty… the sword."

The answer was brought to me by the commentary.

"Oh! Again, that's the Gogassa player's heirloom knife! Rigid sword!

'That move is said to be an undefendable attack. It was a mistake in the first place.'

I see, is that an undefendable move? But knowing that doesn't turn you into a threat.

"Oh! Slade, he's down on the ground!

"One!"

Apparently, the count has begun. Not good, I need to get up right away.

"Two!"

Two-count eyes, but my flesh won't stand up. Seemed more damaging than I thought.

"Three!"

"Grr!"

I pulled myself together and stood up and set up a knife.

"Oops! Slade, I got up with my three-count eyes!

I can't stay asleep forever.

But if you're alarmed, don't get really ten-counted. Looks like you need to be more tempered and get up.

"Have you risen..."

"Mr. Gogassa......"

Mr. Gogassa raised his sword again and waited for me. Do we have to do something about that sword?

"My sword is a move to focus my entire weight on the sword. Therefore, you can't defend yourself with the power of a line..."

"... it's so sweet of you to go out of your way to reveal your hand"

"I just found out, there's nothing I can do about it..."

Mr. Gogassa is slowly approaching me.

'Come on! Gogassa, we're slowly getting closer!

'All Slade can do is run away, bring it into a speed battle, or whatever it takes, you shouldn't take it from the front'

'I see! Then this would be the sight of what kind of hand Slade would use!

The commentary says yeah, but I'm not going to take either of those.

"Mm!?

"Oops!? Slade, keep your hips down and set up your sword!?

'No way, I'm going to take it from the front...'

What I took was a reception. If you want to break the sword, this should be the best.

"Hmm! Rigid sword!

As Mr. Gogassa approached him, he swung down his sword once and for all, aiming at me.

"Oh dear! The Rigid Sword was swung down and struck Slade's sword!

'No, this is...!?

I control the sword with a knife.

"Secret Sword Skill! Stream Water!"

"What!?

"Oh!? Mr. Gogassa's sword pierced the ground!?

'That's a diversion, isn't it? But no one can do this against Mr. Gogassa's sword. One mistake, on the contrary, you will be mutilated'

What a technology! Slade! Is this Gogassa's pinch?

This move is a secret sword move. It's a sword move that shifts the target's attack by changing the flow of power.

I launched the attack when I saw Mr. Gogassa's sword pierced the ground.

"Whoa!"

"Ugh!?

"Gogassa took Slade's attack too far!

"Somehow, we seem to have made it, but the disadvantage will continue."

The first blow was taken, but the next attack. I wave a knife from another angle.

"Oops!

"Ugh!

"Gogassa, I've taken a second shot, but I'm a little down!?

"This is..."

With my offense, Mr. Gogassa was greatly out of balance. I mean, it's full of gaps.

"It's over. Oh!

"Ugh!

"Oh!? Hit it! Gogassa, he's been slashed!

My sword was killing Mr. Gogassa. I can confirm that blood is overflowing from that body.

Mr. Gogassa slowly fell onto the spot and did not move. You seem desperate to endure that pain.

"One!... Two!... Three!

'The count goes on mercilessly! Is this Mr. Gogassa's defeat?!?

Perhaps it should be difficult to get up. A body that has reached its limits would be screaming.

But still...

"Ugh!

'Become! Oh my God, Gogassa has risen!?

- Do you think it's the knights who come up?

"Are you motivated yet..."

I'll put up a knife and prepare for Mr. Gogassa's attack. But the next word that came out wasn't what I had imagined.

"No... it's gibberish... it was a good offense"

"Giveup......?

What was released from Mr. Gogassa's mouth was his own declaration of defeat.

"Become! Oh, my God! A Gogassa player has declared a give-up! By this, this battle! It will be a victory for Slade! Gentlemen! A big round of applause for both!

'... it was a brilliant battle'

With sparse applause, I can win. Apparently, this means a showdown.

Mr. Gogassa will be transported to the medical team that came. I guess I should go back to the entrance, too.

"... you won"

I can't really feel it, but I seem to have won. Slowly, as I returned to the entrance, I held my fist and hoisted it in heaven.

"Mysterious Man Slade! Shake that hand up and show your own victory! What fight will this man have in the future!? We have to hope!

Now my exams and matches are over. From now on, I'll be a part of the Knights. That way, you'll also meet some more powerful people. I left the arena behind, leaping my chest about it.
